For the longest time, in fact for many years, the voices of reason and sanity, have urged our leaders to prepare for the next oil shutdown from the Arab world. Does it not seem this frequently threatened calamity is ever more possible today. Yet the Obama administration is no more willing than prior administrations to get us off oil, or to prepare for oil shutdown. Lip service will not do. Half-hearted programs will not do. We need a crash program--for real. When do we get that.
